It is possible to run simulations across end of year, e.g. from November to February. In order to do this, you should have a weather file with appropriate DATA PERIOD ( see header of epw file), e.g.
DATA PERIODS,1,6,myPeriod,Tuesday,11/17, 2/27
If you want to run your simulation for this weather file period, specify this as your run period for EnergyPlus. Otherwise you can try other run periods by specifying them e.g. in IDF Editor.
Remark: if you have n measurements per hour in your weather file ( e.g. in above example n=6), then you need to set number of simulation time steps also to n.
